Recycling
In 2007, WVU switched recycling from a contracted service to an in-house service. Recycling Services consists of one part-time and three full-time employees.
Currently, WVU recycling collections consist of paper, aluminum, #1 plastic, and cardboard. Also recycled, but still contracted, are fluorescent tubes, scrap metal, electronics, and toner cartridges.
The SFK Pate Paper Mill in Fairmont, WV processes WVU’s paper into pulp for paper re-manufacture. For more information on their processes, please visit their website at www.sfkpulp.com.
Cardboard, plastic, and aluminum are donated to the Monongalia County Recycling Center in Westover. For more information about what can and cannot be recycled in Monongalia County, please visit their website at www.moncoswa.org.
